'Serial No. 567,144.

This invention relates to cravat holders, and has for an object toprovide a new and improved holder, allowing freedom of long1 tudinalmovement of the cravat while restraining lateral movement.

A- further object of the inventlon 1s to provide a clasp for attachmentto the hem of a shirt front, or the like, with a flexible restrainingmember carried by the clasp for encircling the cravat.

A further object of the inventlon is to provide a clasp of a type whichwillslide upon the vhem ofv a shirt front, and with eyes at the oppositeend of the overlying part, to

which eyes are attached the ends of a Hexible member having a degree oflooseness to permit the insertion of thecravat through said flexibleloop to restrain it and at the same time, provide for longitudinalmovement.`l

The invention therefore comprises' apresilient clasp which will engageand remain upon the hem 4of the shirt, with eyes formed at the oppositeend of that part of the clasp remaining upon the exterior 4of the shirt,with a chain or other flexible member attached to said eyes forming aloop through which the cravat is inserted.

The drawing illustrates an embodiment of the invention, and the viewstherein are as follows Figure l is a fragmentary view of a cravat,properly restrained by the present invention, Figure 2 is a view of thelnvention 1n front elevation,

Figure 3 is a rview of the inventlon 1n front elevation, as.applied tothe hem of a shirt, and I Figure 4 is a view in edge elevation,` asindicated by arrow 4 at Figure 2.

Like characters of reference indicate cori responding parts throughoutthe several views.

4The present cravat holder comprises a clasp member for attachment tothe front of a shirt yand while this may assume various forms, the typeillustrated comprises a loop 10 of Wire,

bending at 12 forms a recess 13, with the wires then bent inwardly as at14 so that normally, the resulting section 15 lies between the sidemembers of the loop 10 and at the side of the plane of said loopopposite the recess 13. The member is again bent at 16 so that the end17 is again on the side of the recess 13. At the bend 12, an eye 18 isprovided, and at the end 17, an eye 19 is provided;

To these eyes.18 and 19, a chain. or other flexible member 20 isconnected at its opposite ends lso that it provides a certain amount oflooseness, that is to say, the chain is longer than the interval betweenthe eyes 18 and 19. This provides suiicient looseness to accommodate thecravat 2l which is merely slipped through the chain or other iexiblemember after it has been att-ached to the shirt front as shown. Thisflexible member 20 restrains the cravat from lateral movement orap pingbut permits the longitudinal or up and down movement to accommodatestooping or straighteningof the wearer, or other contingencies exertingstress upon the cravat.

The cravat holder, herein illustrated, may be modified in various waysWithout departing from the invention herein set forth and hereinafterclaimed.
